​I live and work in Biddeford, Maine. I am from Maine and have lived here all of my life except the 4 years I lived in New York City. I attended University of Southern Maine in the mid 1990's studying visual arts.

Much like human life itself, paintings and the act of painting are a series of contradictions. Complexity and simplicity, monochrome interrupted by sharp bursts of color, built environments split open to reveal natural landscapes, cautious beauty and unexpected disunion. 

Semantics of color invite a viewer to imagine the world in a different context, shifting from a more quotidian palette to the psychologically saturated world of painting. Line and plane force the question of ‘truth’ for the observer—and like regular life, the meaning shifts and changes as it is observed. These paintings suggest cataclysm in the gentlest way while leaving the door open to a utopian possibility.

No seriously, I'm not kidding.
